Inhaling books, one breather at a time.

Sci-Fi November Bingo Challenge

Yay second reading challenge! (I’m sort of addicted to these things.) Leanne made the coolest bingo board for Sci-Fi Month (hosted by Rinn), and I can’t wait to get started! As per her suggestion, I’m going to keep the challenge open until I get a blackout because I want to try to read 24 different sci-fi books, and that’s not going to happen within a month… well, unless I do nothing but read all day, but I don’t think my university will be too happy about that.

Ahhh, thanks for adding me to your Bingo post, Leanne! Heehee, I was inspired by your shiny rocket mark-offs on your Bingo sheet. 😀 I didn’t plan out books based on the squares, so I’ll definitely be peeking at your list as well as everyone else’s for more inspiration in case I get stuck!

Thanks Rinn, I can’t wait to see your to-read list too! 🙂 I’m hoping to blackout by the end of this year, but we’ll see how that goes, haha. I know I’m going to have fun with this challenge regardless of how long it takes though!

I am participating in this reading challenge as well! 🙂 I look forward to seeing how others’ are progressing on their Bingo cards as the month moves forward! 🙂 Did you ever read A Wrinkle in Time previously!? I simply adored it! I read it in order to read more non-fiction about Quantum Physics! It was the perfect gateway!

Yay!! I love your reading list, and it’s funny how we don’t have any overlaps in terms of book choices… that means I can basically double my list, right? 😛 I read A Wrinkle in Time in elementary school, and since the only thing I remember about it was that I really really liked it, I can’t wait to revisit it. And you’re right, physics and other hard sciences are so much more enjoyable when they’re incorporated into fiction books!

I wanted to say, that I am not finding a lot of overlaps in reading choices this month through SFN contributors! I think its interesting how we all are sort of selecting new books to introduce each other too! 🙂 I think if we can break down the harder sciences into the world of fiction it gives us a way to change the scope of our abilities to envision what the sciences are attempting to tell us because we’ve taken their essences and theories into the world of imagination! 🙂

I agree, Jorie! Imagination is so important in reading both non-fiction and fiction, and it’s interesting to think about where the different facets of sci-fi will lead us. I’m learning so much about science, and it’s only 6 days into sci-fi month, haha!

OMG THIS IS REALLY COOL =D I’d love to join in if I hadn’t already booked a vacation this month, ahhhhh!!!! Really like how each box doesn’t stick rigidly to the sci-fi genre, sometimes a combination works the best!

[…] EMBARRASSING. One goal I have for this month is to make some progress on my sci-fi bingo board from last year. To date, I still haven’t finished ONE. SINGLE. BINGO. 😦 But I’m getting so close! My […]
